Tough loss against RCD

The Mustangs journeyed to Rye Wednesday for what proved to be a very disappointing game. Despite the long ride, the boys took the field enthusiastically and energetically. Play in the first half was all in the Rye end as Millbrook controlled play at every position. However, Millbrook could not find the back of the net and the half ended in a scoreless tie. When play resumed, Rye was a bit more animated and the contest was much more even. The Millbrook side struggled to execute our game plan and Rye crept slowly back into the contest. With less than 15 minutes to play, Brundrett parried a strong shot and the rebound landed on a Rye foot. The resulting volley proved to be the only score and the game-winner. Millbrook pushed hard as time ended but our best effort – a Mauri shot which slid six inches past the post – was not good enough and a game we felt we should have won slipped away from us.
